I’ve recently started going to a kickboxing class

Mainly to improve my fitness, but I want to build confidence as well. It’s an all grades class so it includes beginners like me up to black belts. There’s two girls in there who’ve taken a super weird dislike to me and I’m not sure why. I’ve always been super polite to them but they just glare at me and look down their noses at me. I don’t think they know me from school or anything but maybe they were a couple of years below me. It’s really offputting and makes me want to stop going, but I suppose I need to ignore them.

I have no idea why this happening but during my years of training, I have been met with people -it's been mostly guys for me- that looked down at me, or, sometimes worse - treated me like a kitty.
But I insisted, because I really needed the training. I believe you need it too, from what I read from you, and so just figure a way around them, that will help you to keep on your aim.

Thankyou! I’m going there tonight. I’ll just do my thing and try to not stress about them. @Boeing

@Strongtea yes, focus on your own thing exactly.
Perhaps asking them a technical question, as they're more experienced can both break the ice and help with your learning. Only if that feels okay.
Enjoy the training:)))
